WhitmorLaundry Hamper with Rope Handles Bamboo, 12.25x16.25x23.375, Dark Stain

Looks incredible in person. Nice size for a hamper basket. It’s as tall as our clothes cabinet. Stands sturdy and the color is beautiful. We got this cause our dog kept stealing our clothes out of our old hamper. He can’t access this one.

Worked perfectly for the location I wanted a laundry hamper.

Fairly easy to put together (came in a flat box). Did have some difficult time making the alignment perfect as I do like my seams to be where they need to be. The lid is a flat lid that sits on top. I did not want to keep balancing the lid on top and the wood from the side and the top did not perfectly match so I returned it.

Where do I start...The bottom keeps falling out when picking up and carrying. The flaw lies in a cardboard bottom held in by tiny metal L-brackets. The sides flex so out the bottom comes and your laundry falls out. The inner bag doesn't have handles to remove and falls down inside constantly. After not even 1.5 years, I'm throwing this away as I can't take it anymore! Too bad because the bamboo exterior is nice.

This is the most minimal product. The base is a piece of cardboard, the handles are barely secured, the laundry bag is very thin. Within a year of use, I'm using duct tape to keep this thing together. If you want something to hold more than about 10 pounds, I suggest looking elsewhere despite the low price here.

I wanted a wood trash can for our office that would be big enough to hold full sheets of paper without crumpling them up. This hamper is perfect for how we're using it, but I'm not sure how well it would work for laundry. The bottom is a thin piece of wood-no more than a 1/4" thick. The hamper keeps its shape using a thin piece of wire bent into a rectangular shape-if that wire gets bent, your hamper may no longer be the right shape. Plus, the sides of the hamper are made of thin bamboo slats, if you ever snap one/some, (because you shoved too much in, or its in a high traffic zone and got bumped) it would not be easy to fix.I'm not using the cloth liner at all, using instead tall trash bags we can easily lift out and carry to the recycle bin. I'm not really using the lid, either, just as a way to cover up my files or laptop from view.In summary, I think there are lots of ways to use this hamper creatively, but probably not in heavy duty or in ways it could get banged up. It's probably best set somewhere safe, and items lifted in or out of it (using the liner or trash bags).

It works well for storing paper and cardboard in the family room, next to the wood stove. We heat with wood, so needed a spot to throw all the paper and cardboard for starting fires that would blend in well and not be noticeable in the family room. This fit the need, and works well. I don't know how well it would hold up or how sturdy it would be for constant laundry use... truthfully, I'd probably add a thicker piece of plywood/particleboard on the bottom if I was going to use it for laundry.

At first I was a little skeptical about how big this was going to be or if it could even work in my situation. I have bought plenty of laundry hampers and none of them are for d my dog likes to pee on my dirty hamper and my dirty clothes it got to a point where I had to put a garbage bag over my hampers but with this one it’s worked really nice I my hamper and clothes don’t stink I think that might be from the plastic wood that’s on the outside of it I’m not sure if it’s plastic it just doesn’t feel like wood so I’m not sure of the material. But I really like it a lot very durable it was hard to put together it did seem a little lopsided when I was trying to put everything together so I definitely won’t disassemble it because putting it together wasn’t the easiest.
